Church Charities

In the recent past, Redland Park has supported a local and an international charity for two years, as well as supporting Christian Aid through collections and a church fair. We now support one charity for two years, and currently this is:  

CHANGING TUNES: 
We use the power of music to help people lead crime-free lives that are meaningful and creative. 

 We facilitate music-making programmes in Alternative Provision Schools, Secure Children’s Homes, Young Offender Institutions, Prisons and Post-Release. We also run a record label that supports the career development of talented music artists who have been in prison, or who are are the edges of the system.

We help participants to develop ‘human and social capital’ outcomes that support desistance from crime, like improved self-esteem, resilience, mental health and belonging.
Our participant re-offending rate over the past 3 years is 5%, compared to the national rate at 48%

We also support NORTH BRISTOL AND SOUTH GLOS FOOD BANK with food donations at Christmas and Easter.

We don’t think anyone in our community should have to face going hungry. That’s why we provide three days’ nutritionally balanced emergency food and support to local people who are referred to us in crisis. We are part of a nationwide network of foodbanks, supported by The Trussell Trust, working to combat poverty and hunger across the UK.


We also support Christian Aid with a Fair each May followed by Big Brekkie, and a donation envelope delivery in the local area, together with other occasional collections, particularly following a world crisis.
 
Redland Park regularly runs fund raising events for the charities they support.  These include concerts, fairs, cake sales, quizzes and sponsored activities.
